Each year, my sister exchanges gifts with her five sister-in-laws for Christmas gifts. Because they are all generally crafty people (not wily--just like to make crafts!), the gifts are often hand-made in some form. This makes exchanging gifts a bit easier, as she generally makes the same gift for each of them. This year, she decided on making some cute beaded watches, which she found were super cheap and easy to make. Once she finished the watches, she just needed the right wrappings.
We found some cute Christmas themed cardstock, decided on the box style/shape that we wanted (Silhouette has a seemingly endless supply of options, with all sorts of fun closures, etc.) and set our Silhouette to a-cuttin'! Here's what we came up with!
With a little twine, some gold chalking around the edges, and a little punched tag, these perfect little gift boxes were ready to go! We liked them. How about you? :)
Note: The boxes have flaps inside that you glue to hold in place. Just some regular stick-glue will do. Some box shapes have cut holes to enable you to tie them closed on top (such as ours did), while others have neat twisting flower petals that link, or entwining flaps, etc. So many fun options! Just depends on what you like and pick. Play around!
I think these would be fun to put small party favors in. In fact, I think I'll do that for my very next party...
